Song of the Day: Our Fight Song (by many of my favorite people) Today, as I pass my 6 months of being a legal resident alien of the United States of America, I finished my 8 session stint visiting my therapist Christine. There’s a pause, and I look up smile gently, calmly, making eye contact. I laugh […]Read Post ›
I encourage you to pump up the Song of the Day: Wherever You Go (One Republic) as it sets the tone as you read my final piece about these silly ol’ donkeys.

There’s a lot to chew on we’ll say from our time at the Department of Transportation (DOT). Also with […]Read Post ›
It’s been 123 days today since we moved from our comfortable home in Toronto, to this unknown American adventure. Although I had mixed feelings about quitting my job, I needed to support my partner’s opportunity, and take my own opportunity to “retire” at 32. It’s been inspiring not having someone tell me what my purpose everyday, […]Read Post ›

It’s the American thing to do isn’t it? Our first game would also be our very first NBA game: The Philadelphia […]Read Post ›
Happy National Pet Day everyone! Gather your cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, lobsters, and humans: A lot of you have been asking how Peeta has been doing with his transition, and we’ve heard your call.
